Seriously, we deftly move from a one-on-one with fashion mogul Michael Kors in an uptown Manha an hotel to a raucous strip of honky-tonks for our cover story, “Three Perfect Days: Nashville.” Not far-flung enough for ya? How about fashion authority Daniel Werner giving inside tips on how to dress in Berlin in the same issue as journalist David Sirota touring the declassified military sites of Arizona’s Nuclear Trail. We’ve got executive editor Chris Wright reporting on a wise-cracking former New Jersey governor in the same section as Dispatches correspondent Chris Swanicke covering an international comedy night in Jakarta.

CEO LETTER

Giving Back

W

elcome aboard, and thanks for flying United today.

Every day, my co-workers build our Working Together culture based on dignity, respect and direct, open and honest communication with each other and our customers. At United, we go beyond getting you to your destination, and are commi ed to making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work. It’s an important part of who we are at United.

We want to encourage and recognize the value co-workers bring to our communities through volunteerism, which is why we began United’s Volunteer Impact Grant Program two years ago. Since the program’s inception, the program has awarded $156,000 in grants to nearly 150 nonprofit organizations where our co-workers volunteer their time. In addition, this year we

10

p010_HEMI0913_CEO.indd 10

will give grants to 10 co-worker-sponsored environmental service projects, ranging from tree plantings to environmental education programs, through the United Airlines Eco-Skies Community Grants.

This month, we will once again partner with Feeding America for Hunger Action Month to help ensure that families have enough to eat, and children receive the nutrition they need to succeed in the classroom. During this month, we will donate to Feeding America a portion of the proceeds from Choice Menu sales on all United flights. Also, throughout September and October, our United coworkers will be hosting events at food banks throughout the country and in each of our hub cities. For more information or to donate miles to this important cause, please visit united.com/feedingamerica.

We are a global company with employees

across the world, allowing us to use our reach to help others. We also use that global reach to respond to disasters in times of need by transporting supplies and volunteers almost anywhere. We provided valuable assistance and resources during tragic events like Superstorm Sandy, the Asian tsunami and the earthquake in Haiti.

I’m very proud of the work we do at United to give back to our communities.

Thanks for choosing to fly with us today.

We appreciate your business and hope to see you on board again soon.

VOICES

Expecting the Unexpected Jay Hakim loves the challenge of disrupting service interruptions.

BY A. AVERYL RE

J

ay Hakim has spent more than 22 years focused on what happens when things don’t go as planned for airline customers. And customers have a big reason to be glad he did.

As manager of the information technology administration for service recovery applications, he oversees a critical program designed to enable United to serve customers proactively during irregular operations such as weather delays or cancellations.

He first began working at the airline part time on the ramp during his student days at the University of Houston, where he studied electrical engineering. He spent eight years in Reservations working at the Service Recovery desk. That is where Hakim discovered his passion for helping customers who, for one reason or another, weren’t where they or the airline wanted them to be.

“We contacted the customers when we

12

p012_HEM0913_Voices.indd 12

could to work with them to make sure they get to their destination in a timely manner.”

He goes on to explain the challenge of the Service Recovery desk: “When we had a major issue, such as a large storm system causing delays, cancellations or diversion, we needed hundreds of staff to provide the changes customers needed. And it usually took three to five minutes per customer to find the best option.”

Then a customer from a delayed flight commented, “I was on a four-hour flight, and you knew the flight was late. You should have looked out for that to rebook it before I landed.” That sentiment drove the development of the Customer Automated Reaccommodation System (or CARS), an application Hakim says was “was built by airline employees for the airline” to make rebooking customers more timely and less labor-intensive. He helped develop it from the

beginning in 1999.

“For customers affected by cancellations, diversions, or delays, CARS automatically rebooks them to alternate flights to get them to their destination as close as possible to their original arrival time. It reads real-time flight information and prioritizes customers based on criteria such as whether or not they are making connections. It does all of that in one to three seconds per record and can process 36 flights at the same time.

The system automatically notifies customers of new flight information – one important reason United requests customers provide mobile contact information or email before traveling. For customers who want to select different flights, the program interacts with United’s kiosks, mobile app and united.com to make rebooking easier. In 2012 alone, CARS reaccommodated 2,792,636 customers.

Hakim says service disruptions are a reality given weather and the airline’s focus on safety, but it is how the airline treats customers that makes the difference in a successful recovery. “When I worked on the service-recovery desk, I learned as long as we offer the customers a realistic option, work with them and give them honest answers, I hardly had any customers who were angry or dissatisfied.”

Even though CARS is a mature system, Hakim says his group hasn’t stopped working on it. “We have to keep up with the ever-changing environment. We have had to make sure the system is up to date on all the equipment out there and that we have reliable flight-information. We have to make sure it has accurate real-time information to get the best choices for our customers.”

In addition, he says his team looks to the future to make sure the system evolves to keep up with customer needs, such as ensuring customers who pay for premium seats have a comparable seat on substituted flights.

When not thinking about service recovery, Hakim spends his time on travel, gardening and photography.

But he never quite gets away from thinking about aviation. Every year around Halloween, he makes airplanes out of pumpkins, something he has done for about six years.

“The pumpkin has to be the right size and the right shape,” he says. “I called the first one P757; the P stands for pumpkin. Now I just need to figure out how to make them fly.”

This year, Hakim tackles his version of United’s newest fleet type – the P787.

CONNECTIONS ASK THE PILOT

With Captain Mike Bowers

Q: Why do some runways criss-cross each other? How do intersecting runways affect takeoffs and landings?

Choice for Good WANT A BITE IN-FLIGHT? Your next in-flight snack purchase can satisfy your hunger – and that of needy individuals and families across the United States.

Last month, United introduced its new Choice Menu Bistro on Board, offering new fresh food items in United Economy on most flights scheduled for more than three-and-ahalf hours within North America and to and from Central America.

For breakfast, you might enjoy a ham and Swiss baguette, sweet cheese pastry or our morning energy selection. (Morning energy: think protein!) For lunch or dinner, artisan cheeses; a caprese bague e; a bacon, le uce and tomato wrap; a roast beef and cheddar baguette; and an Asian-style noodle salad may be on the menu. Certain Hawaii flights also offer warm skillet dishes.

R1_p014_HEM0913_Connex.indd 14

If you’re looking for lighter fare, the Choice Menu Snack Shop offers three snack boxes plus candy, pita chips and hummus, granola bars, Pringles and Chex Mix. Packaging for Choice Menu fresh options has changed as well, with environmentally friendly packaging replacing traditional packaging.

When you purchase items from the Choice Menu, you’re also helping those in need. Through the “Eat for Good” program, United donates a portion of the proceeds from Choice Menu sales throughout the year to nonprofit organizations. For the month of September—Hunger Action Month—United will donate to Feeding America, a wellknown hunger relief organization, and Common Threads, which provides nutrition education. –KAREN MAY

A: Because we always want to take off and land into the wind, runways are aligned with the prevailing winds. Because wind patterns can change with varying weather conditions, most airports have additional runways aligned with different potential wind directions.

Unless the airport has a large amount of area to use, the runways normally cross each other. When wind conditions allow, air traffic controllers may coordinate the flow of traffic to enable the use of intersecting runways -- of course, keeping airplanes safely separated.

The way it works is if your building doesn’t meet its allo ed height v ie limit liim miit or occupies only part of a plot, then the remaining cubic feet are yours to sell. s ll se ll. Laws concerning “air rights” date back to medieval times, but the market has h soared along with our skyscrapers. Here, a few notable examples.

JAMES BARTLETT

■ In the mid 1980s, developers of the U.S. Bank Tower in downtown Los Angeles paid more than $125M for the air rights of the neighboring Central Library. The 72-story Bank Tower also bears the distinction of being the first structure to get blown up in the 1996 film Independence Day. ■ Famous for its appearance in 1982’s Blade Runner, L.A.’s romanesque revival Bradbury Building sold its air rights for $1M to developers who wanted to build a skyscraper nearby.

■ Donald Trump snapped up the air rights to at least seven buildings in order to have his 72-story Trump World Tower, completed in 2001, stand as a monolith above United Nations Plaza. Buyers have been willing to pay $25M or more for an upper-level condo.

■ Two Manhattan properties—the United Methodist Christ Church and the Grolier Club on Park Avenue—were set to share $37M (or $430 per square foot) for their air rights, next to a proposed 35-story apartment building, but the deal fell through in 2005.

■ The same United Methodist Christ Church on Park Avenue and 60th Street will earn a reported $40M for its air rights—at a record selling price of $600 per foot—as developers are looking to build a 51-story apartment tower, which would set a new record as the tallest residential building in New York.

■ The investment firm that owns Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal is, controversially, looking to get $500 per square foot for its property’s air rights— twice the amount that the city has deemed reasonable. With over a million square feet available, that’s serious money for empty sky.

LOS ANGELES

THE LAB REPORT Sammy has psychological issues; Shelley is here to find out why

BY CRAIG STEPHENS

SEATED AT A ROUND TABLE in a sparse apartment in downtown Los Angeles, two women stare blankly at one another over a flickering candle. One, wearing a colorful headscarf, has something to reveal.

“I sense Sammy is suffering separation anxiety,” she says. “He’s lonely and was simply acting out.”

The Sammy in question is a five-year-old Labrador. His owner, a retired realtor from Van Nuys, has come here to try to figure out why he recently wrecked her apartment. The dog sits impassively as Shelley Hofberg peers into his eyes, possibly trying to fathom an even deeper reason for his actions.

Hofberg is a psychic, healer and

18

p018-022_HEM0913_Globetrotting.indd 18

paranormal investigator of some renown. She is also in demand as a pet empath. “It all started when I was a child of eight,” she explains.

“Our Siamese cat became ill and I began feeling something in my stomach when it was around.

This was due to me being empathic.

My parents took it to a vet who confirmed it had an issue with its intestine.”

Now in her 60s, Hofberg has been working with animals professionally since the late 1980s. “I communicate with them via telepathy,” she says.

“I can pick up on the thoughts and emotions of the animal.”

She is also good at gauging the thoughts and emotions of the pets’

owners, although this tends to be more of a deductive process. “An owner wants to know how the pet feels about them,” she says. “Or if there’s some sort of behavioral issue or possibly health issue.”

As for Sammy, she hasn’t quite cracked that nut yet—but, in the grand scheme of things, a homewrecking Lab shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge.

Hofberg recalls one of her more difficult cases, a Chihuahua named Juan with a history of abuse. “His former owner had tossed him around, so he was very vicious and resentful with his second owner,” she says, adding: “I helped him overcome that and adapt to his new home.”

Dressed in a seersucker suit, his bushy white eyebrows tilted in a theatrical display of uncertainty, the 89-year-old tries to check in at the media accreditation table, which isn’t right. A PR person intervenes, giving the 47th governor of New Jersey (1974 to 1982) the red carpet treatment he deserves.

Accompanied by the tinkling of silverware on china, the event’s moderator begins with an icebreaker: What did the panelists most admire about the governor who followed them? Seated at the center of the dais, Byrne cups a hand around his ear and asks for the question again. Then, having received it, he says that he most admired the way his successor “used the same photographer for the official portrait,” which gets a big laugh.

From her living room in London, she appears on Skype at midday, bright and breezy in front of a shoji screen, and quickly launches into the ma er at hand.

“I’m always interested in talking about death,” she chirps. She produces a newspaper with the headline “Hot Summers Could Turn London into Isle of Death.” Then, having lost none of her pep, she chimes in with a question: “So, how long would you like to live?”

Following a brief interlude of um-ing and ah-ing, the participants se le on 80.

The former governor doesn’t stop there. While the other panelists deliver weighty opinions on education and budget reform, Byrne seems content to lob the occasional zinger into the mix. “In New Jersey, if you’re not getting something for nothing, you’re not getting your fair share,” he remarks at one point. Later, in the midst of getting worked up about fiscal ineptitude in the current statehouse, he interrupts himself: “Ah, that’s all right; I’m gonna be gone soon.”

Afterward, Byrne’s wife, Ruthi, who arranged the event, holds court amid plates of half-eaten chicken.

“He’s smart as hell and funny as all get-out,” she says of her husband.

NJPAC boss John Schreiber—who went out on a limb by hosting a political debate at the state’s flagship performance venue—seems especially pleased with how things turned out. “In New Jersey,” he says from the sidelines, “politics is entertainment.”—CHRIS WRIGHT

So it goes for the duration of the hour-long call. There’s cake and the passing of Margaret Thatcher, tea and the possibility of an a erlife.

“While we’re here on this Earth, you know, we should appreciate it,” Salmon says at the end, sunlight streaming through the window behind her. “You might be living now, but tomorrow you might not, so make the most of everything.” —HANNAH STUART-LEACH everything.

in from the U.K., and a Russian-American named Daniel Kinno. The three have been swapping jokes, and arguing about which jokes travel and which ones are lost in translation.

A few minutes later Fuzz returns and tells a Peter-Pan-tries-to-pickup-women gag he’s been testing on people in the room. “Do you think it’s funny, Daniel?”

“That joke won’t travel,” Kinno says bluntly. He goes on to recall making a crack about Fenway Park in a Los Angeles club once,

and how it landed with a thud. It was then he learned to remove local color from far-flung gigs.

All three are familiar with the challenges of global audiences. Fuzz plays off his multiculturalism—he speaks Malay, English and Mandarin—while Kinno brings an unabashedly American perspective. Harris’ potty humor seems to have the widest appeal. His jokes, at least, get the big laughs. A dirty joke ending with Harris barking like a chimpanzee, in particular, is a cross-cultural kneeslapper.

After the show, the comedians mix it up with the crowd. A burly Scottish

guy who’d sat in stony silence as Kinno ribbed him during his set comes over smiling, thanking him for the performance.

In a couple of days, the American will be in Kuala Lumpur, where the shtick might not go down quite so well, but Kinno doesn’t seem overly concerned.

“It’s a charmed way to see the world,” he says.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS MEET THE BREEDS, IN NUMBERS Come the end of this month, it’ll literally be raining cats and dogs in New York City. Okay, maybe not literally, but there will be a great many furry cri ers racing, leaping and flouncing around during the American Kennel Club’s “Meet the Breeds” event, which is being billed as “the world’s largest gathering of dogs and cats.”

It’s unclear if it’s officially the largest gathering ever, but we can confirm that the meet will feature more than 200 breeds, that the average cat can jump five times its own height without the aid of a trampoline and that a fairly intelligent dog can understand up to 200 words.

Tag, Stavanger Is It David Choe gives his “stamp of approval” to a Norwegian street art festival Since 2001, the Norwegian city of Stavanger has invited artists from around the world to make their mark on its public spaces. Tagging in this year’s Nuart street art festival are up-and-comers like Faith 47 and HUSH. The marquee name, however, is Los Angeles-based David Choe (the man who famously painted the Facebook offices, was paid in shares and scored a reported $200 million as a result). Choe’s chaotic, technically brilliant work has elevated him to superstar status in art circles.

So it’s no small thing that he has described Nuart as “The best street art festival in the world.” As organizer Martyn Reed puts it: “This will be David’s third visit, and for a multi-zillionaire with no shortage of invites to world events, I’d say it’s a major stamp of approval.” sept. 7

Chat Roule e Queen Latifah takes a gamble on a new daytime TV show Daytime television has become a very different space since 1999, when hip-hop legend Queen Latifah—née Dana Owens—took her first stab at hosting a talk show.

For one thing, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” has said its final goodbyes, but there are new obstacles to success: an ever expanding 24-hour news cycle, competing reality stars and, well, the Internet. Owens thinks she has the solution: Her second a empt, launching this month, will bring the comic irreverence and musical guests of late-night variety shows like “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to daytime. Oprah, this lady is not.

“I’m absolutely not trying to become Oprah. I’d love to create a show that has the level of quality that hers did, and, let’s face it, the ratings, you know?” she laughs.

“But I think I understand that we’re in the digital age now and I love hearing fresh, new music, so any new acts that I feel are bubbling under that people don’t know about, I want to give them a shot at a national audience.”

TALKING POINTS Queen Latifah looking regal; with Jamie Foxx on her first talk show in 2000

Owens also cites her potential for mass appeal.

“I’ve always had an interesting demographic that’s crossed age barriers, race barriers and gender barriers, and I love to bring all of those people together—welcome them into my home, if you know what I’m saying,” she says.

Though she suggests there might be regular appearances from rap royalty (there will be a “revolving door” for friends, she says), Owens says she plans on being all-encompassing in her invitations to musical guests. Expect everything from country to rock and roll.

“I remember watching a performance by U2 on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and I’ve never seen anyone

work the cameras the way Bono worked those cameras,” Owens recalls. “Like, he literally grabbed the jib camera and pulled it around with him, and I’m like, ‘That is a performance.’ So of course U2 is welcome on my show anytime. Grab all my cameras, man. Do what you want!”

Everyone understands that movies require audiences to suspend disbelief, but, as a few of this month’s offerings demonstrate, that can sometimes be a big ask.

Adore IMPROBABILITY RATING: 6/10 Perhaps the most unlikely thing about this movie isn’t the scandalous plotline—although a film about two best friends who fall for each other’s sons did raise eyebrows when it premiered at Sundance (with Naomi Watts and Robin Wright as the two cougars)—it’s the fact that it’s based on a novella Doris Lessing published at 84.

The Family IMPROBABILITY RATING: 7/10 In this latest outing from The Professional director Luc Besson, the FBI relocates a violent Brooklyn mafia clan into rural France. What could possibly go wrong? The only thing more implausible would be if this film, which features the two most popular faces of Robert DeNiro—that of gangster and family man—doesn’t win big at the box office.

Muscle Shoals IMPROBABILITY RATING: 9/10 Oddly, the most unbelievable story of the three is actually true.

Not only were “Brown Sugar,” “When a Man Loves a Woman,” “Mustang Sally,” “Free Bird” and countless other classic songs all recorded at Fame Studios, the subject of this charming documentary, but the studio was located in Muscle Shoals, a small Alabama town at the back end of nowhere.

An exhibit of Bulgari masterpieces leaves no stone unturned It’s been said that celebrities are the modern equivalent of royalty, and if that’s true, then the best place to see the crown jewels is at this month’s Bulgari exhibit at San Francisco’s de Young Museum. Though the Italian jeweler has been operating since the late 1800s, the brand arguably reached the height of its popularity during the dolce vita era of the 1960s— when movie stars like Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman crawled the Italian countryside like so many ants on a wedge of Pecorino. Elizabeth Taylor loved the jeweler so much that her husband Richard Burton once said that “Bulgari” was the only word she knew in Italian. Several pieces from Taylor’s estate will appear at the exhibit, including these three must-sees. SEPT. 21

“The Office” co-creator Stephen Merchant takes his unlucky-in-love shtick to Hollywood

PERHAPS MORE THAN his long-time collaborator Ricky Gervais (“The li le ‘LADIES’ MAN Stephen fat man with the pug-nosed face,” as David Bowie famously warbled), Merchant tries Stephen Merchant was built for laughs. He stands a gangly six-foot-seven to score with his and has eyes that seem about to pop out of his head, a smile that looks like new HBO sitcom it was drawn by a five-year-old and social skills that can best be described as catastrophic.

This, anyway, is the persona Merchant presents in “Hello Ladies,” the new HBO offering that marks his first solo television outing since he and Gervais hit it big with sitcoms like “The Office” and “Extras.” Born of a recent stand-up show of the same name, “Hello Ladies” has Merchant in the role of Stuart, a provincial Englishman trying his luck on the fringes of the Hollywood celebrity circuit. Or, as he puts it: “I play a nerd who doesn’t end up with the models.”

The material in Merchant’s “Hello Ladies” stage show drew largely on the romantic pratfalls of his youth, and the sitcom can be seen as a kind of sequel to this, because Merchant has found himself moving through the very world he describes in the new show. “There’s something inherently funny,” he says, about the juxtaposition of L.A. glam and “this weird alien.”

Merchant readily admits that he’s not being The Parting terribly grown-up about all this—that the lifestyle he’s currently pursuing is gratifying in Merchant’s take on moving forward the same way that, say, being a superhero would without Ricky Gervais be, or the pilot of a rocket ship. “It’s like I’m trying With “The Office,” “Extras” and “Life’s to exact revenge on the 14-year-old me, by living Too Short” to their credit, Stephen this glamorous life,” he says. “I’m trying to fulfill a Merchant and Ricky Gervais are a nearbasic adolescent fantasy.” perfect comedy team, which has some The proble problem with this scenario is that unfortuobservers concerned ed about the duo going their separatee ways. nate autobiographical details are the cornerstone autobiog Already, Gervais’ new ew solo to much of Merchant’s comedy, and so access M project, a television series to the inner sa sanctum of American celebrity has called “Derek”—duee Sept. not resulted iin him having more success on the 12 on Netflix—has been dating scene. scene “All it means,” he says, “is that now I panned by critics who ho get rejected reject by much more choosy women.” accuse the show of making While the initial run for “Hello Ladies” fun of disabled people. ple.

How Peruvian food (finally) conquered the world

MUSUK NOLTE

BY JOLYON HELTERMAN HAILING PERUVIAN CUISINE as the Next Big Thing has long been a favorite sport of culinary pundits. Bon Appétit called it as far back as 2005, and again in 2008. In 2011, the Wall Street Journal and at least a dozen respected food scribes touted Peruvian grub as the it cuisine. But a critical mass of cebiche enthusiasm never quite materialized.

In 2013, however, with Lima’s Central Restaurante cracking the coveted “World’s 50 Best Restaurants” list and Astrid & Gastón

(also in Lima) leaping 21 spots to No. 14 from the previous year (the highest jump on the same list), it’s safe to say that food from the land of the Incas has finally become ho er than an aji amarillo chile. In short, you’ll want to commit the name of that pepper— Peru’s preferred source of culinary heat—to memory, along with causa (potato terrine), tiradito (sashimi-style ceviche), and lomo saltado (stir-fried beef and peppers).

“The way Lima’s food scene has grown in the last five years is incredible,”

says Virgilio Martínez, chef of Central Restaurante. “I haven’t seen anything like it here before—people coming in for the weekend just to eat, from Europe, from America, even Asia.”

Tracing the origin of any food trend is tricky, but a decent starting point for this one might be Mistura, this food festival in Lima that was founded in 2008 by Gastón Acurio, whose culinary empire includes seven outposts of his flagship restaurant, Astrid & Gastón, and five

CULTURE || FOOD & DRINK locations—including New York and San Francisco—of his upscale cebicheria, La Mar. The festival has brought international attention to the diverse bounty produced

by Peru’s 84 microclimates. Think pristine seafood, obscure jungle ingredients like the quinoa-esque cañihua grain and the cherimoya fruit, and 4,000 varieties of potatoes.

Last year, however, is when the buzz started to go truly global. First, there was the launch of celeb chef Richard Sandoval’s Raymi in Manhattan’s Flatiron district, and then, earlier this year, London fell hard for the trend with the arrivals of LIMA in London (another of Virgilio Martínez’s spots) and Ceviche Peruvian Kitchen. Other recent high-profile openings include Above Eleven in Bangkok, Juvia in Miami and, perhaps most notably, Pakta—a 32-seat nikkei (PeruvianJapanese fusion) eatery in Barcelona from molecular-gastronomy kingpin Ferran Adrià, of El Bulli fame.

When asked if the buzz could be a flash in the sartén, Martínez shakes his head.

“This curiosity in food from our country will only make local chefs more excited to experiment with dishes and ingredients from the wildest parts of Peru,” he says.

OH, HONEY A glass of liquid gold at Brothers Drake

BEE SEASON Now that honey wine brewers are using craft beer techniques, mead’s cup runneth over Despite the hokey Renaissance Faire stereotypes, the ancient honey wine known as mead is fast becoming the next darling of artisanal whistle we ing, thanks to brewers employing cross-genre techniques like dry hopping, barrel aging and herbal infusions (think lavender, green tea and black walnut) to cut the sweetness and add interesting flavors. Like the makers of hard ciders before them, mead brewers are seeking to take a chunk out of the cra beer market. “Cra beer came first, then cra distilleries, now mead is the next frontier,” says Eric Allen, general manager of Brothers Drake, an urban meadery and cocktail bar in Columbus, Ohio.

Just when you thought there was no way to improve on the tiered tower of shellfish, here comes the recently opened Kabocha in Chicago’s West Loop—just in time for the months to end in “r” again.

It’s so pretty you may not even want to dig in. —CLAIRE OLIVER SUDS UP Chefs hop onto the artisan beer bandwagon As the white-hot craft beer boom rages on, some of the world’s top chefs have realized they might be the most qualified people around to do the brewing. Over the last year, big-name toques from all over the world have paired with industrial beer makers to launch heavily researched vanity pints for both commercial release and serving in their restaurants.

Michelin-starred French chef Joël Robuchon, for instance,

THE DELICATE MEDLEY of radishes, onions, carrots, garlic and pea tendrils roasting away on Frank McClelland’s makeshi grill is starting to look a smidge blackened around the edges, but the chef nods approvingly.

“Another six or seven hours should do it,” he says, plopping another heaping tangle of tendrils on the fragrant hardwood fire.

We’re in the middle of a f ield on McClelland’s farm in Essex, Massachusetts, incinerating batch upon batch of veggies for use at L’Espalier, McClelland’s four-star French restaurant in Boston. There, the oily charred vegetable bits—or “ash”—will be tossed with tapioca powder and aromatic spices (like juniper berries and sumac), dried in a low oven and pulverized into a concentrated paste that can be brushed onto seafood, meats and vegetables for a subtle smokiness.

That subtlety is key. Any steakhouse can conjure a char on an aged porterhouse, but that gutsy flavor profile is harder to achieve when working with, say, fragile Dover sole.

Separating the production of the char from the cooking of the protein itself allows the smokiness to be deployed with greater nuance and control.

Indeed, the very next night the ash appears at L’Espalier in a delicately smoky beet garnish for foie gras, as the ethereal backdrop to a bu ery dish of warmed Wellfleet oysters and brushed onto a mild-flavored beef tenderloin with bone marrow, cèpes and fermented garlic.

While you can technically char anything edible, says McClelland, the sugarier the vegetable, the be er the ash. “I play around with the recipe a lot,” he says, “but I always try to keep the onions at about 50 percent.” —JH

SPIN CITIES When it comes to bicycling in three different towns, fashion is as important as function

BY JACQUELINE DETWILER

New York When New York City unveiled its Citi Bike bicycle share program in June, the New York Times streetstyle photographer Bill Cunningham was ecstatic, saying, “What I love is to see them all on wheels on their way to work in the morning, in their business suits and the women in their office clothes.” Imagine if Mr. Cunningham came across a bicycle as stylish as the people riding them, like this cherry red Gramercy bike from Martone Cycling Company. Founded by former luxury fashion publicist Lorenzo Martone, this boutique bicycle company makes monochromatic rides especially built for N.Y.C. efficiency and style.

They come in various colors, but each one has a signature red chain, a basket for shopping and a two-speed hub that shi s automatically when the rider reaches 10 mph. $899 / martonecycling.com

Santa Monica Inexpensive, hard-to-break and free of frills, the fixed-gear cycle—or fixie—has become the ride of choice for the bicycle purist who prefers minimal components as well as a minimalist syle. Still, there are two enterprising USC grads who felt fixies could use a li le more in the way of vivid colors, so they started Santa Monica–based Solé, which boasts such offerings as this Foamside, which might well match your sur oard. It can also come with a flip flop hub, for those who prefer single speed. $379 / solebicycles.com

San Francisco There’s something a li le masochistic about riding a fixed-gear bicycle in San Francisco, which might be why the folks at Mission Bicycle raised almost $67,000 from a Kickstarter campaign to launch the Sutro, their first-ever bike with an 8-speed internal hub. Their latest finish—raw steel with a clear gloss on top—adds a dose of S.F.’s industrial-chic to the bike’s high-tech body. $1,485 / missionbicycle.com

wear in ... Berlin

Daniel Werner When it comes to fashion, Berlin has become shorthand for en vogue. So to find out how to properly dress when visiting the German capital, we talked to Daniel Werner, the celebrated manager of East Berlin’s 14oz, one of the most well-curated clothing stores on the planet.

INTERVIEW BY BOYD FARROW PHOTOGRAPH BY ZOE NOBLE

What should visitors wear to blend in?

Do you consider Berlin a great shopping city?

Berlin may technically be one city now but the difference between east and west is unbelievable. If you want to look like you belong in East Berlin, stick to black and gray: sleeveless T-shirts, skinny jeans, Ray-Bans and beanie hats and co on tote bags. You can’t go wrong with that. Oh, and you need to have lots of artistic ta oos, all down your arms. It is the signifier that you belong.

In West Berlin, it is much more conservative, much preppier, all bu on-down shirts, chinos and pullover sweaters, brighter colors. When I come out of the train station on Kurfürstendamm to visit our second store, a three-stop journey from our store on Neue Schönhauser, it’s like arriving in another country. I honestly do a double-take.

Actually, a lot of people are now coming to Berlin just to shop, because a lot of international designers have moved here. But for the people who live here, buying clothes is not such a big deal like it is in New York, London or Paris. There are a lot of cool boutiques in the Mi e, but their opening times are erratic because the owners are more interested in partying than making money. It is a great city for wearing clothes though—no one judges you here by what you wear. There are few dress codes in bars like in other cities. You can mix everything up and no one will care.

Berliners seem to really love vintage.

Well, because all Berliners have grown up learning about sustainability, there is a huge appreciation of quality items that have lasted a long time or are expected to last. Vintage is big here. Heritage brands are very fashionable, American heritage brands particularly, and anything made in Japan.

44

R1_p044_HEM0913_Wear_In.indd 44

So talk us through what you’re wearing now.

Today it’s a total mix-up. I’m wearing Bu ero sneakers, made in Italy, Denham Upgrade jeans, a Dukes belt, a T-shirt by Levi’s “1930s Collection” under a co on jacket by Deus Ex Machina, vintage handkerchief and Stetson hat. The handkerchief is from Berlin and made by a friend whose brand is called 14/03. He invented this round two-sided pocket square.

THIS MONTH’S HOTTEST HOTELS

AMANGIRI RESORT CANYON POINT, UTAH

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: Set on 600 acres of private canyonland between the Vermilion Cliffs and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, the property comprises a range of easy to moderate hiking trails and a 7,000-year-old archaeological site. The resort can arrange custom trips to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley or any of the other adjacent national parks.

ROOM WITH A VIEW: Each of the resort’s 34 suites features 14-foot-high concertina doors that open onto a private terrace with a fireplace and daybeds and a vista as wide open and iconic as a frame from a John Ford Western. The resort is laid out like a modernist’s interpretation of an ancient Anasazi village, with polished slab floors and thick concrete bulwarks tinted to match the surrounding cliffs.

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2013

p047-050_HEM0913_Stay.indd 47

HOT DISH: The menu at the hotel’s Dining Room restaurant is shot through with an inspired blend of Asian flavors (a nod to Aman Resorts’ origins in Cambodia and Thailand), classic French technique and traditional Southwestern ingredients. A particular highlight is a local elk chop in pipian verde, served with corn and cotija mash and a carrot-ginger slaw of daikon and cucumber.

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: Suites radiate outward from the main pavilion to a fortress-like spa complex.

But, with its turquoise waters curving around a prow of 150-million-year-old weathersculpted sandstone, the pool is the centerpiece of the property.

Se le into a poolside chaise beneath a flowering chitalpa tree and you may reconsider your goal to hit every national park in the Southwest.

Makati Shangri-La MANILA, PHILIPPINES

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: The 16-city cosmopolis of Manila is home to two (soon to be three) Shangri-La hotels. You’ll find the Makati hotel in the middle of Makati City, a prime shopping and dining district. It’s across the street from the destination mall known as Greenbelt and the Ayala Museum, which contains paintings by Philippine art stars Juan Luna, Fernando Amorsolo and Fernando Zobel, among quite a few other things.

ROOM WITH A VIEW: There’s only one place in Manila that can lay claim to the largest hotel room in the city, and that’s the Makati Shangri-La. Its Presidential Suite comprises almost 3,400 square feet of chandeliers, couches and ornate furniture, with a kitchene e and a window-front bathtub. It also boasts an unparalleled Google Earth’s–eye view of Manila’s bewildering sprawl.

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: A er avoiding mototaxis on Manila’s busy highways for a few hours, take a break at the Spa at the Shangri-La. The signature Hilot treatment combines massage and chiropractic manipulation—with a generous dollop of coconut oil—to thoroughly relax traffic-stressed muscles.

DESIGN NOTES: Originally the mansion of a San José family who earned their fortune making cookies, Grano de Oro (which means “grain of gold”) was expanded in 1994 and again in 2007 by the addition of two more mansions. Guests who don’t heed the bellhop’s offer to escort them to their rooms will likely end up lost in a garden of mango trees. Then again, there are worse fates.

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: At the hotel’s restaurant, you’ll find a double-sided bar—one side a fan-cooled lounge whose tables glow under flickering gas lamps, the other a verdant courtyard dominated by a stone fountain. Either is a good place to order a Tico Sour, a Costa Rican spin on the pisco sour made with local sugarcane liquor known as guaro, lemon, egg white and nutmeg.

HOT DISH: The primary reason for the hotel’s second expansion was to increase the space in the hotel restaurant—one of San José’s top spots on account of both the French-Costa Rican fusion cuisine and the alfresco seating. Try the Corvina Macadamia: sea bass coated in crushed macadamia nuts served in orange herb sauce.

ROOM WITH A VIEW: Book the Vista de Oro Suite, lined with handmade tiles, and you can watch the bustle of San José— and the dreamy greenery of Costa Rica’s Central Valley behind it—from an in-room Jacuzzi.

Abaco Club Homes on Winding Bay

CLAIM TO FAME: Designed by golf course architects ABACO, Tom MacKenzie and BAHAMAS Donald Steele, and built at enormous cost in 2004, the club’s renowned Sco ish-style course provides stunning views of the ocean. Bring lots of balls and pay a ention to the breezes, unless you’re just enjoying the scenery.

ROOM WITH A VIEW: Paradise Found, one of the rental co ages here, has a private plunge pool and fire pit perched on a cliff, which offers a wonderful view of Winding Bay. Conch Villa has a small deck on the cliff ’s edge, the perfect place to spend an hour or six doing nothing but gazing.

AMAZING AMENITIES: Upon arrival, you’ll find the concierge service has already stocked your kitchen with the food and drink of your choice and arranged your tee times, along with dinner reservations, spa appointments and any other activities that take your fancy.

LONDON

BULGARI BACKSTORY: Having already graced Bali and Milan with its hospitality (another property is slated for Shanghai in 2015), Bulgari opened this 85-room hotel in London’s Knightsbridge last year, significantly depleting the world’s supplies of Zimbabwean black marble. In fact, a rut has formed in the sidewalk between the lobby and Harrods.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: The nearby village of Cherokee Sound offers picturesque early-American architecture, boat-building history and highly skilled bonefishing guides. At Li le Harbor, Pete’s Pub hosts spirited Sunday pig roasts in a Robinson Crusoe se ing. Offshore is a shallow barrier reef, where guests can snorkel among spectacular coral gardens, home to spo ed eagle rays, sea turtles and schools of fish almost too colorful to be true.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: Well, Harrods, along with a slew of other retailers not for the weak of wallet, is down the road. Chic Sloane Square and the hip King’s Road lie to the south, raunchier Portobello Road to the northwest. Hyde Park is nearby, if a stroll is in order, and, for the culturally inclined, the Royal Albert Hall is down the road for movies, tennis or the circus.

DESIGN NOTES: Black and silver motifs appear throughout the hotel, echoing the familiar Bulgari aesthetic, along with expanses of much-polished mahogany, green onyx, Italian glass and bespoke furniture. While flourishes are kept to a minimum, the carpets in the rooms have a bouncy-castle plushness to them and the padded corridor walls are so er than many beds.

HOT DISH: Given its sleek, Bulgari-esque décor, Il Ristorante is a surprise. The food is rustic and unpretentious—the paccheri pasta with meltingly tender ox cheek and Pecorino Romano is like something an overachieving nonna might conjure up. The staff, too, is wonderfully unfussy. “We want to feed people,” says one waiter, “not impress them.”

AUTO-TATION MASERATI / MONACO

Starting price: $105,000

THE ITALIAN JOB Driving from Turin to Monaco through the Italian Alps? Here are eight reasons to take the new Maserati Qua roporte BY JAMES WILLIAMS

INTERIOR A limo-like interior with lumbar-adjusted leather front seats will have you in a Zen-like state as you glide down the Autostrade. The rear seats are also heated to keep pampered posteriors warm in mild Italian winters, and there’s more legroom than in a private box at La Scala.

GLOVE BOX Your route from Turin to Monaco, via Piedmont’s quaint village of Cuneo, requires a cool head. Fortunately, not only is the climate control so er than a unicorn’s mane, there’s a separate control to chill the glove box, which is roomy enough for a couple of icy Cokes and a box of mints.

52

p052_HEM0913_RoadTrip_v6.indd 52

DASHBOARD

TIRES

With an 8.4-inch center-panel touch-screen displaying your tunes, a/c, Garmin satellite navigation system and rear-mounted parking camera, this dashboard is worthy of 007. Dash dials are in analog and digital, and presets remember your exact seat, wheel and pedal configurations.

ENGINE

They could have gone for run-flats but the Qua roporte is all about the drive.

Chunky Pirellis sit on 20-inch alloys, perfect for taking curvy mountain passes at 50 mph without losing your rigatoni.

Keep one eye on the asphalt, and the other on the Italian alpine pastures rolling by.

TRUNK

The twin turbo-charged 3.8-liter V6 Ferrari engine has delicate lag and direct injection. Press “sport” to unleash the beast. Going from zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 177 mph, it’s fast and quiet enough to evade the paparazzi camped outside of the Casino de Monte Carlo.

Clean contours make for a well-defined rear end, perfect for an elegant cruise past the Prince’s Palace, the Opéra de Monte Carlo or the Hotel Hermitage. The 530-liter trunk is big enough for four suitcases, but your kids’ bikes will have to travel with the motorcade.

EXHAUST PIPES Pick any long, snaky alpine tunnel, roll the windows down and listen to that low crackle. It starts like a WWII bomber thundering low over the Mediterranean but crescendos swi ly to an intense, throaty, high-pitched roar, via a raucous choir of four epic exhaust pipes.

TRANSMISSION Use your manual transmission paddle shi ers for Monaco’s Grand Prix street circuit, then choose from another four modes for the rest of the drive. The I.C.E. mode can get up to 33 mpg. We averaged 21 mpg on a 21-gallon tank, but then we weren’t taking it easy!

WI-FLY You may now turn on your electronic devices, and perpetually be online

BY DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF

If you’re like me, the only time you’re not tethered to the Internet is during that no man’s land between the airplane door closing and your flight reaching cruising altitude. You know what I mean: the only time when you’re not allowed to use your smartphone or laptop.

It’s the single opportunity to unplug, look out the window, read this magazine or, heaven forbid, talk to the person seated next to you.

THIS OBSESSION WITH OUR LITTLE SCREENS ACTUALLY YANKS US OUT OF THE PRESENT.

published earlier this year).

It’s a real-time, always-on existence, without space to enjoy the underlying rhythms that used to inform our lives. I mean the simple stuff, like day and night, or the four seasons.

Ironically, air travel was what woke us up to the fact that we live in time. Jet lag used to be considered folklore. There was no scientific justification for it. Then, Major League Baseball managers began to notice that pitchers won more games when traveling from east to west than west to east. How could that be?

Humans do be er when their day/night cycle is expanded rather than contracted.

The State Department eventually caught on, and began manipulating diplomatic schedules to give our negotiators an edge.

Of course, most of our industrial age processes ride roughshod over such cycles. We struggle to be more efficient and profitable in our professional lives.

Everything is supposed to go straight up. Even the money we use—debt-based central currency—has a built-in clock: it has to be paid back, in time, with interest.

That’s how time became money, and how efficiency and growth became the underlying ethos of our age.

Digital technology was supposed to change all this. Computers and networks were going to make more time for us all. Instead of commuting to work and punching a timeclock, by now we were supposed to be logging in from home, on our own schedules and in our pajamas. In the Internet’s early days, we took our time responding to an email. As a result, we sounded smarter online than in real life.

But something happened along the road to techno utopia. Instead of choosing when we would log in and work, we ended up just staying logged on perpetually.

Rather than turning our greater choice and efficiency into more time for ourselves, we turned human time into the new commodity. Our economy no longer had any more physical territory through which to grow; developing nations were no longer willing to be colonized, and the boundless frontiers that kept the industrial age accelerating for five or 10 centuries started to look pre y bounded, a er all.

The only place le to grow was on the landscape of human a ention. There were still moments when people were not buying or selling, consuming or producing.

And those could be tapped. So instead of using our devices when we might want to, we ended up strapping our smartphones to ourselves. They alert us every time someone sends us a message, update or tweet. We end up in a state of perpetual emergency interruption that used to be endured only by 911 operators. We get “phantom vibration syndrome”—the sensation of a smartphone buzzing in our hip pocket when it’s not.

This obsession with whatever’s happening on our li le screens actually yanks us out of the real present. All those messages are not something we keep up with; all those tweets and pings are actually trying to keep up with us.

We keep misinterpreting our many incoming digital signals as the real-time alarms of the industrial age. That’s like responding to an incoming email message as if it were a ringing phone. It is not. It will wait. But if we continue to make this mistake, we will end up like those kids a ending rock concerts but watching the whole thing through their camera phones.

They miss what’s actually going on.

The beauty of the pervasive Internet—the ubiquity of Wi-Fi signals, even on an airplane crossing the ocean—is its availability. It’s there for you, waiting. It is always on—so you don’t have to be.

Now that you’re at cruising altitude, I’ll leave you to your own devices.

GOING FOR BROKE The Dodgers’ big-money push for marquee players might pay off, but it doesn’t always

BY TIM MARCHMAN

WHEN A CONSORTIUM o f d e e p pocketed investors fronted by Magic Johnson bought the Los Angeles Dodgers for $2 billion last spring, L.A. fans felt their quarter-century drought of a World Series berth might finally come to an end.

The team’s new owners went on a spending spree, snatching up every available bold-faced name on the market. As team

president Stan Kasten told me earlier this year by way of explanation, “Ownership wanted to turn the dial all the way to the right.” I half expected him to pull out a guitar amplifier that went to 11. If he’d had one on hand, it would have made for a fi ing symbol of what seemed to be the team’s new philosophy, which might reasonably be termed “celebrity baseball.”

PUIG TIME The Dodgers phenom is making a name for himself, despite the veteran stars who delayed his debut

endured a prolonged slump. Or even the New York Yankees of a decade ago, who got a li le bit worse every time they brought on some new great like Randy Johnson.

The problem with all of these teams, and others like them, is obvious. There are exceptions—and by mid-summer, the Dodgers were definitely looking like one of those exceptions—but if a celebrity player is on the market, that’s generally because

something’s wrong with him. He may be past his prime, or making too much money, or a huge pain, or all of these and more.

Bringing together several such players is o en just a way of ensuring that you end up with damaged goods.

But even assuming the Dodgers do well for now—which is, more and more, looking to be the case—there’s potential for future misery for teams employing

GETTY

But well into the month of June, it looked bleak for the star-studded Dodgers as the team floundered with a losing record. Of their new glitzy recruits, Hanley Ramirez, Carl Crawford and Zack Greinke had spent considerable time on the disabled list. Josh Becke was headed for season-ending surgery, and slugger Adrian Gonzalez was OK at best.

Then Ramirez and Greinke came back from injury and re-found their former greatness, Gonzalez became more consistent with his power stroke and the team entered the All Star break in a ba le for first place of the National League West.

By the end of July, Crawford was back to form, too.

The team owners’ strategy of throwing wads of cash at marquee players and telling them to have at it might still pay off, but history shows it o en doesn’t.

Think of the L.A. Lakers of the late 1960s, who somehow contrived not to win a championship despite having mega-names like Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor on their roster. Or the Galácticos, the famed Real Madrid team of the early 2000s that added David Beckham to such stars as Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo and, almost immediately after Beckham’s arrival,

THE FAN || culture

In baseball, with its vast array of esoteric and ever more precise statistics, who you are is supposed to ma er much less than what you do. this strategy, particularly as star players begin that inevitable decline yet remain too expensive to bench. But the Dodgers are hardly the prime offenders.

For the last decade, there has been the maddening sight of the Yankees amassing an annual payroll in excess of $200 million with only one World Series ring to show for it, while there are clever teams doing well with the amount of money the Bronx Bombers have had si ing on the disabled list for much of the 2013 season. The Tampa Bay Rays win 90 games every year while running one of the lowest payrolls in MLB. Give them, or the Oakland A’s, $200 million a year to spend, and you’d get a great team that stayed great. At the very least, they wouldn’t pay champagne money for a superstar past his prime.

Worse than that, though, is that profligate teams like the Yankees undermine the

basic point of fandom. It isn’t about idle wealth or a tenuous relationship between money and sense, really; it’s about meritocracy, along with old-fashioned notions like loyalty and collective identity.

In sports, and especially in baseball, with its vast array of esoteric and ever more precise statistics, who you are is supposed to ma er much less than what you do. While the success of teams like the Rays or the A’s is often credited to their use of advanced math or their inspired experimentation, what it’s really about is their willingness to ignore reputations and focus on how players perform on the field.

The concern with turning the dial all the way to the right is perfectly summed up in Yasiel Puig, the 22-year-old Cuban phenom who didn’t make his debut for the Dodgers until June 3, well into what was then starting to look like a losing season for the club.

In spring training, it couldn’t have been more obvious that he was, at worst, the team’s second-best outfielder. He hit .517, caught everything hit anywhere near him and ran the bases like a bull. The issue was that he was an outfielder, and the team already had about $400 million worth of those—all of whom were too famous and too well paid to sit.

Eventually, two of the Dodgers’ celebrity outfielders got hurt, and Puig got a chance.

He hit .456 his first month in the majors, cracked home runs off pitches he shouldn’t have been able to reach and scored from second on infield hits. In addition to big names to cheer for, the Dodgers had one of the most exciting new players in baseball.

Actual baseball, it turns out, is so good and strong that it will break out even in the midst of a billion-dollar marketing campaign. There’s a level on which the Dodgers know that; if they start to act like it they might field the best team their town has seen in a long, long time.

THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE

A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES

Located at 1001 N.E. 125th Street, Miami, Florida, The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go to The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past 12 years.

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).

This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

HOW IT’S DONE

CARRYING THE INTERNET IN BALLOONS While the international popularity of K-pop and Russian dashboard cam videos might make it seem like everyone on Earth has access to the Internet, the world’s most useful series of tubes has yet to carry Twi er and Netflix to two-thirds of human beings. Many folks in places like rural Africa and South America have too li le bandwidth to use remote learning programs, talk to far-off doctors, check the weather or simply use Google. In what is perhaps a self-serving endeavor, Google X, the same lab behind Google Glass and those wacky driverless cars, aims to change that. Project Loon, trials for which (literally) launched in June from New Zealand’s South Island, will offer Internet to the entire world via radio-carrying balloons that float in the stratosphere. Here’s how they’ll do it. BY JACQUELINE DETWILER 1 The 39-by-49-foot balloons are made of a special polyethylene plastic that can withstand internal pressure better than even weather balloons. A center section contains helium while an outer layer can take in or release pure air—using energy from an attached solar panel—so that the balloons are able to move up and down in the stratosphere.

2 Keeping the balloons in one place is energy inefficient, not to mention expensive. Instead, Google engineers will take advantage of the stratosphere’s natural layers of wind streams to float them around the Earth at about five to 20 miles per hour. Raising or lowering the balloons moves them into wind streams that travel in different directions.

3 Using radio frequency antennae, the balloons will connect with each other, a local Internet ground station and specialized connections on homes and offices.

Each balloon can provide about 25 miles of coverage at speeds comparable to 3G. Google engineers will use advanced algorithms to keep them at an ideal spacing to ensure maximum coverage.

FOUND IN TRANSLATION IN LATIN AMERICA, ENTERPRISING FEMALE LANGUAGE TEACHERS ARE USING SKYPE TO TAP INTO THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE—AND THE STUDENTS UP NORTH LOVE IT

BY MARA GAY

AT 10 YEARS OLD, the internet company that lets users video chat for free has found its most devoted following among homesick families and friends living abroad. But now, Skype is also lending a huge hand to independent entrepreneurs across the so-called Global South, in developing countries where wages are low and job opportunities are scarce—doubly so for women.

In places like Guatemala and Mexico, enterprising women are using the technology not just to bypass job markets plagued by chauvinism, but

also to launch small businesses in which they teach Spanish language skills to students in the United States and Europe.

Olga Pacajá, a 34-year-old Spanish teacher from Antigua, Guatemala, who has been using Skype to connect with students in the United States, is one such example. “In Guatemala there are a lot of workers, many of whom are women. There are many female teachers, and they are being exploited,” says Pacajá. “The pay is terrible and there’s o en no pay in the summers at all. For me, Skype has opened up a whole other world.”

Pacajá, who charges about $12 an hour and teaches roughly 50 hours a week, says she quickly found the Skype lessons to be more profitable and more fun than teaching in person at a local school in Guatemala, a country where the minimum wage is $9 a day. “This has become my primary source of income, and I do very, very well,” she says.

Ray Blakney, an American who launched Skype-based Live Lingua about four years ago with his Mexican-born wife, Laura Ramirez Blakney, pays his teachers in Mexico about $7.50 an hour—a huge sum in a country where many workers earn as li le as $5 a day, and women o en far less. At that wage, Blakney says he’s had no trouble recruiting teachers from across South America and elsewhere. He says the vast majority of his teachers are ambitious women who want to work but need to be able to work from home.

“A lot of them have young children,” Blakney says. “We give these mothers an option to be at home with their kids and keep working at the same time.” And for native English speakers looking to learn a second language on a tight budget, the lessons are an a ractive option. On Skype, English speakers can take private Spanish, Mandarin or French classes for about $10 to $15 an hour—a fraction of the cost of a private language lesson in the United States, which can run students as much as $100 an hour.

“For 10 or 11 bucks an hour, it’s like a

For me, Skype has opened a whole new world.” freebie,” says Michael Chernoff, a retired fundraiser who lives in Amherst, Massachuse s, and takes lessons through Live Lingua. “Over the years, my Spanish has gotten pretty good. I keep telling them, I would happily pay much more.” Gene Grossman, the chair of the economics department at Princeton University, feels the success of entrepreneurs like Pacajá shows that globalization has a bright side.

“Global sourcing has just become possible where it wasn’t before,” he says.

“For the average Guatemalan or Mexican woman, this is a real win.” In addition to being drawn by affordable rates, Spanish language students in America are also attracted to the idea of immersing themselves, albeit virtually, in a Spanishspeaking country. “I know it’s not as good as being able to be in the country, necessarily, but it’s the next best thing,” says Jeff Squires, who along with his 10-year-old son, Ethan, takes a Spanish lesson via Skype once a week.

“We don’t just do a lesson, we really get to know each other,” Squires says of

ometime between the advent of Facebook and the Harlem Shake, internet dating went from a thing people made fun of to a thing that everybody was doing. And it’s really almost everybody. More nth’s o than a third of all marriages are the result of online m s i th meetings, according to a new study of nearly 20,000 Americans published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And the joke’s on those who think the practice is lame: University of Chicago researcher John Cacioppo and his team found that people who met online were happier with their spouses and more likely to stay together over the course of seven years than those who met in “real” life. Both of these effects persisted even when the scientists controlled for age, education, income and religious affiliation, among other factors.

his Spanish teacher, who lives in Mexico.

“We talk about our kids and about current events, not just here but also in Mexico.”

Gordon McCord, the director of economic policy at the Center on Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University, sees Skype as the ultimate equalizer for women in the Global South, who are successfully marketing their skills in wealthier countries at a fair price. “Skype has completely changed the game for these women,” says McCord. “They can be independent and start their own businesses with very li le startup cost.

“In most developing countries women suffer from inequality and one of the great ways of solving this problem is having women command a wage,” McCord continues. “And any phenomenon that helps women more than men is sure to be great for society. Often things change for the be er when women work.”

For her part, Pacajá is hoping to start a Guatemala-based language company that will teach Spanish over Skype and offer benefits unheard of for most workers in the country. “I want to own my own company and provide good jobs with health insurance, something we need very much in Guatemala, particularly for women,” she says. “And now it feels very possible.”

scientist is to make her diverse leaf forms easier to digest.

The se ing is a workshop at the State University of New York at Stony Brook called Improvisation for Scientists.

The aim is to find ways to make science more accessible to the masses. Alan Alda, for whom the University’s Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science is named, is emceeing.

Alda, a frequent host of scientific television shows, has long been at the forefront of a campaign to encourage the use of plain English in the sciences. “If scientists can’t communicate clearly,” he says after the workshop, “the rest of us lose out on the beauty of science, the intrigue, the great detective story it is, the poetry of it.”

For all his zeal, Alda is not entirely without sympathy for the targets of his crusade.

“We shouldn’t be too rough on scientists,” he says. “I could give you a string of showbusiness jargon you wouldn’t understand either. If you’re talking to somebody who understands the lingo, and you have one word that can stand in for five pages of words, why wouldn’t you use it? But you have to be aware of whether people are ge ing it or not.”

This has become a hot topic in the scientific community, mostly because, quite clearly, a lot of people aren’t getting it. A study by the National Science Foundation found that only half of American adults surveyed understood that the Earth orbits the Sun once a year, and fewer than one in 10 could define a molecule. In an age when science and technology play an increasingly central role in everyday life, that kind of ignorance has troubling ramifications.

Beyond being incomprehensible, say some critics, giga-syllabic scientists come across as elitist. Jargon, says Elizabeth Bass, a science journalist who now runs the Alan Alda Center, “can be worse than silence. It sends a message of ‘I don’t care if you don’t understand.’”

Alex Mayer, a professor at Michigan Technological University, argues that there’s an element of self-interest in the plain-English campaign. “We need the public on our side,” he says. “They write the checks, they pay the taxes and they elect the people who make the decisions.” With SEPTEMBER CROSSWORD ANSWERS

“Scientists have to be aware of whether people are ge ing it or not,” Alan Alda says. the aid of a National Science Foundation grant, Mayer trains graduate students to communicate by sending them to teach in middle schools.

But it’s not only Jane and Joe Schmo who are alienated by science-speak. In spite of the old joke that IT guys inflate their salaries by deliberately using arcane terminology—thereby making themselves indispensable—there’s actually a growing demand among employers for technical staff who can communicate clearly. The Keepers of the Knowledge, as it were, are being asked to share with the rest of us.

Accordingly, engineering students at institutions like Syracuse University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, both in New York, are required to master the art of the elevator pitch (describing their work in the time it takes to rise or descend a few floors). At Villanova University, in Pennsylvania, engineering students describe their research in front of discriminating panels of retirees and 12-year-olds.

In 2010, Ireland’s Trinity College began sending its scientists to local pubs to explain their work to patrons in three minutes or less, an idea that has grown so popular it’s become a national competition held in a Dublin theater. Then there’s PHD Comics, a humor website for doctoral students, which runs a video competition in which contenders get two minutes to describe their doctoral theses.

Alda would approve. “Our hope,” he says, “is that all science education will eventually include the study of communication skills, so that when we turn out a capable scientist we’ll also be turning out a capable communicator.”

To this end, the event Alda is hosting today involves an exercise adopted from improvisational theater, in which scientists use an even more basic form of expression than simple language—namely, mime.

“This is really hard,” says one participant, flapping his arms in an a empt to convey something meaningful about his research.

“It makes the whole science thing look really easy.”

editor, is still grappling with Dioscoleares.

THE HEMI Q&A: MICHAEL KORS

IT’S FITTING THAT MICHAEL KORS would unveil his new eponymous beauty line in the Presidential Suite of the arty Surrey hotel on Manha an’s Upper East Side.

The Long Island native presently sits atop the throne of the American fashion industry, with his clothes sought a er by first ladies, film stars and working women alike.

At an energetic 54 yea r s o l d , Ko r s already has a lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fa s h io n D e s i g n e r s of America and a company worth more than $12 billion. Michelle Obama regularly wears his creations (including in her official White House portrait).

He’s even achieved broader celebrity as a judge on the hit TV show “Project Runway,” thanks in large part to his notoriously snappy critiques. (“It looks like something a Teletubby would wear to a party.”)

Earlier this summer at the Surrey, as a coterie of New York beauty editors spritzed, bronzed and glossed themselves with products from Kors’ new line, the designer ducked into a neighboring room for a lively chat with Hemispheres.

right now like it never has before—not just on the coasts but in middle America, too.

Why do you think that is?

MICHAEL KORS: I grew up with women who wanted it all and they wanted the men in their lives to say, “You look amazing.” And at the same time, they were not willing to give anything up.

I’m about strength, power and a lot of glamour. Initially it was a very New York thing, but now you could live in Ames, Iowa, and life is fast.

HEMISPHERES: You mention the women

you grew up with. I assume you’re talking about your mother and grandmother. How did these women help you develop your understanding of makeup?

KORS: They each were very, very specific with their beauty ideas. My mother— her makeup regimen was 10 minutes and she was out the door.

HEMISPHERES: But she was a model,

wasn’t she?

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • SEPTEMBER 2013

p072-075_108_HEM0913_Q&A.indd 75

KORS: Yes, and they would pile the makeup on. So in real life, the last thing she wanted to do was that. I don’t think she’s ever worn foundation other than while modeling, so for her, it was a great bronzer, a li le bit of mascara, lip color, nail polish and ready to run.

My grandmother, on the other hand, packed train-cases full of false eyelashes and eyeliner. She would switch up her lipsticks. She always went for it. She traveled with wig boxes and enjoyed the whole process of dress-up. And my aunt was full-on, unabashedly sexy. The minute that a crazy new thing would happen, she would try it, whether it was a dark lip or fake lower lashes.

HEMISPHERES: As a child, did you pay

attention to their beauty rituals?

KORS: I loved watching the process.

When we’re ge ing ready for a fashion show now, and we do a hair and makeup test, it takes me back to childhood, si ing and watching my mother get her hair done when she had a special event.

Actually, I was always pushing her to be

KORS: I did, I did. At 15, I did not have a light hand with cologne and that’s a nice way to put it. My mother used to say, “What? Oh my god! Just spray a li le on! You’re dousing yourself!”

But coming of age in the late ’70s, there was this decadent a itude that permeated through fashion and into the beauty world and I was truly ready to go full-tilt. Today, CONTINUED ON PAGE 108 »

Among the scrum are a camera-wielding British couple dressed like they’re on safari, a group of Russians sporting thick coffeehouse beards, a pair of Korean War vets wearing matching American Legion caps and me. I’ve made the trek to the American Southwest’s “Nuclear Trail” out of a sense of nostalgia for the uneasy times of my childhood.

“Look, people get excited by the power of these planes and weapons, and it’s true, they can kill lots of people,” he says with a knowing sigh. “But there’s another side that we should all remember—their potential power kept us out of World War III. I think visitors here get to see that. They recognize that if we hadn’t had this power, who knows what would have happened?”

Thankfully, direct combat with the Soviets played itself out more in the 1980s pop cultural arena than on the ba lefield.

Following the incredibly intense hockey game between the U.S. and the Soviets at the 1980 Winter Olympics, Rocky Balboa squared off against Ivan Drago in Rocky IV and, in the WWF, Hulk Hogan regularly took Nikolai Volkoff to the mat.

And let’s not forget the television movie “The Day A er,” which 30 years ago scared up some of the biggest Nielsen ratings in TV history. The Pima Air & Space Museum is certainly aware of the pop cultural context. Indeed, in its hangars, every plane that has appeared in a blockbuster film is displayed next to its corresponding movie poster.

p087-091_114_HEM0913_FT_ColdWar_V3.indd 90

“We want to give visitors a frame of reference they can relate to,” says Mary Emich, Pima’s director of visitor services. “There’s no be er way to do that than through Hollywood.” On my own self-guided tour of the museum’s nearly 200,000 square feet, I come across a nuclear-capable F-14 Tomcat with its a endant poster of Top Gun, a UH-1 helicopter next to a poster of Apocalypse Now, and two 11-foot-high nuclear missile casings accompanying a shrine to the film

“MOST PEOPLE COME HERE TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF THE WORLD.”

Dr. Strangelove.

Strangelove, of course, was a reaction to the duck-and-cover hysteria that predictably followed 1963’s Cuban Missile Crisis. It was, in part, Hollywood’s way of satirizing such a potentially catastrophic non-event.

The military had a much less cheeky reaction—one buried next to a lonely road 30 miles south of here, just before you hit the Mexican border.

FROM THE SURFACE, the 3.5-acre plot officially called Titan II ICBM Site 571-7 doesn’t look like much. In fact, says a sandpaper-faced repairman and fellow atomic tourist named Butch, “It’s pre y easy to miss—hell, I’ve been driving by this place for years and didn’t even notice it, but I just decided today to pull off because I had to check it out.” Butch, like me, is one of the 55,000 people who will visit this place this year. I imagine everyone initially wonders what we are paying admission for. Up here, it just looks like a tiny post office–sized building, some sci-fi-esque antennas, a few concrete slabs and lots of tumbleweed.

But then, the Titan Missile Museum is

not about display cases and dioramas; it is about experiencing a once secret physical environment exactly as it existed during the Cold War. And so the deceptive camouflage that makes this preserved missile silo look unimpressive from the outside is actually part of its strategic design—one that becomes all the more stunning when you behold the giant rocket, command center and troop residence hidden beneath the surface.

Unlike the museum and air base in Tucson, which leaves the aircraft’s destruct ive p o w e r to t h e imagination, the Titan museum in Sahuarita is explicit about the obliterating capacity of the 9-megaton, 103-foottall intercontinental ballistic missile that was housed here from a few months a er the Cuban Missile Crisis until the early 1980s. A 900-square-mile blast zone; third-degree burns 30 miles away from the detonation

site; a map of Tucson showing the “approximate area of complete destruction.” These are just some of the stats flashing on a monitor above the lobby’s 10-foot-tall black shell of a W-53 nuclear warhead—the same kind of ablative shell that sits atop the missile casing that is still housed here.

“Most people come here to see what could have been the end of the world,” says the museum’s historian Chuck Penson when I ask him about why the lobby so openly advertises the apocalyptic implications of the missile.

“The questions we typically get are: How big was the weapon?

How much damage would it do? How close to a hit could you be and still survive?”

Before Penson and another guide take me, Butch, a pair of bikers and a family of four below ground, we watch a short video explaining that this is the last of 54 such Air Force installations.

From there, though,

all the usual trappings of a museum melt away as we don hard hats, descend metal stairs, stride through a 6,000-pound steel door and enter another world. In this submarine-like space, civilian clothing instantly seems absurd—the informality of Butch’s dirt-stained gray and yellow work uniform, the Harley guys’ biker boots and my sandals clash with the martial color of the place (that seafoam green common at military sites). Inside the low-ceilinged tunnel that connects the command center to the silo, we are entombed in 8-foot-thick steel-reinforced concrete. Yet everything—even the teenagers’ sneakers—seems to loudly clang through the exposed pipes and wiring because so much in here is made of metal.

“See all these springs everywhere?” asks Penson. Pointing to an SUV-sized coil of steel in one corner and other smaller coils suspending equipment along the wall, he explains: “Everything which is launch critical is connected to a spring to ‘shock isolate’ it from a nuclear blast. That means this whole building is built on springs.”

As if in an amusement park, one of the bikers grabs a pole and tries to shake the floor to see if he can make the spring flex, but Penson CONTINUED ON PAGE 110 »

This is not a joke. This is Nashville. The New Nashville, as some call it. But that’s not quite right, as it implies a disparagement of the old Nashville.

Today’s Nashville isn’t a departure from the “Nash Vegas” of old. It’s still Music City, the unforgiving big-money capital of country music, a place where, as Marty Stuart has sung, “they sweep broken dreams off the street.” But it has diversified. And upgraded. The food scene is booming, the art scene is booming, the non-country music scene is booming. The buoyant economy, easy pace and quality of life have a racted newcomers from all over—including the likes of Jack White, Jack Black and Nicole Kidman. The city that once branded itself the “Athens of the South” has, in the last few years, laid a legitimate claim to the title.

extravagance that was erected in 1897 as part of the centennial celebration of the “Athens of the South.” Soon, having honed your ambling techniques amid the splendid greenery of Bicentennial Park, you arrive once again in Germantown.

Monell’s is a classic family-style restaurant set in a spacious old home with each room jammed with diners feasting at communal tables. There’s a wait, but a pleasant one, out in a garden space.

Eventually, you’re seated at a table with a motley bunch: a few missionaries from Oklahoma, a couple from Louisville here for the weekend, a family from Atlanta in town to help their son move. Over heaps of fried chicken, grits, beans, catfish, biscuits, gravy, ham and so on, you trade stories, sing happy birthday and eat, eat, eat.

Eventually, perambulatory again, you make your way back to Lower Broadway.

The strip is heating up. You stop at the great Ernest Tubb Record Shop, where you meet a Californian schoolteacher who recently moved to Nashville. What brought him here? “Good fun!” he exclaims. “Great music at a good price!” Then, grinning: “And, well, tax advantages.”

There’s music history of a different sort at the nearby Hatch Show Print, a vintage le erpress that for more than 130 years has made the concert posters you see all over town, and whose walls are plastered with gorgeous vintage promos. From here, it’s

TENNESSEE MASH Nashville’s growing music scene is no longer just about country Nashville’s forever-long reputation as a country music mecca has taken a turn over the last few years. The country scene is still going strong, of course, but the city is also seeing flashes of pop, rock and hip hop.

“We’re starting to get this melting pot of genres,” says Emery Dobyns (pictured), a Grammy-winning engineer, rock producer and songwriter who moved to Nashville from New York this year because he saw an opportunity for more satisfying work. “Since I got here, I’ve been running into more and more music people from other cities. And these are successful people.”

For Dobyns and others like him, the allure of Nashville’s storied musical tradition is compounded by its booming economy and all of the benefits that come with it.

“You have amazing food and culture, a great lifestyle,” he says. “You never run into someone who’s not working.”

As for Dobyns, he’s keeping busy with Lily and the Parlour Tricks, an up-and-coming pop group who followed him down from New York, and who are also in the process of laying roots here.

“New York will always be there, and L.A. is a great place to visit,” Dobyns says. “But this is the place.”

Nashville’s quirkiest, seediest art fest bears fruit It was 2004, and Meg MacFadyen and her husband, Bret, had an idea.

Music City summers were punishing, and the pair, who own the Art & Invention Gallery in East Nashville, were looking to start an event “that would make people come outside and be miserable in the heat together.” After some discussion, they decided that the best part about summer was tomatoes.

Ergo: a tomato-themed art fest. A thousand people showed up, some dressed as tomatoes. “The whole thing was an accident,” MacFadyen says. The Tomato Art Fest has since expanded to include a parade, a pageant, food, music and a 5K race.

But it retains its founding oddity, which is uniquely East Nashville.

“Just because we thought it was funny,” says MacFadyen.

THE NAME GAME Nashville is, as the song goes, “a country boy’s Hollywood.” Like its big-screen counterpart to the west, it’s a place to chase your dreams, while at the same time summarily dumping your ungainly birth name.

Here, courtesy of the wildly quirky Wildsam Field Guide to Nashville, are some of the more radical Nashville name changes.

off to Ryman Auditorium, the high church of country music.

The Ryman used to be home to “The Grand Ole Opry,” the TV and radio show that transformed country from a regional concern to a national one. A er the Opry moved to the glitzy, high-tech Opryland, the Ryman narrowly avoided the wrecking ball and survives today as a concert hall and museum. Upstairs, you watch a video biography of Minnie Pearl, the ebullient hillbilly character who once ruled the roost here. “Tryin’ to hold me back is like tryin’ to shoot off a cannon a little at a time,” she squeals.

You soon learn, though, that Nashville’s status as the capital of country music is not confined to the past. On a juke-joint

crawl down Lower Broadway, you start at the rollicking dive bar Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, which, over the last half-century, has played host to everyone from Patsy Cline to Waylon Jennings. Yellowed photos of patrons and performers line the walls.

The house band is all classic country, with dirty jokes and repeated calls to shout and drink (“holler and swaller”), and the capacity crowd obeys. A few doors down from here is an even more notable venue: Robert’s Western World. Even the snobs who deplore the Nash Vegas side of town will tell you to go to Robert’s. The Silver Threads are currently playing a set. The singer, Eileen Rose, calls Johnny Horton’s “Cherokee Boogie,” and the renowned guitarist Rich Gilbert replies, “I heard this

99

07/08/2013 15:27

THREE PERFECT DAYS || NASHVILLE song while trying to park.”

“You can hear a lot of songs while trying to park,” quips Rose. “Nashville’s ge ing popular.”

The big room is starting to fill up. The next act, the Don Kelley Band, is a proving ground for some of Nashville’s best young guitar players, which is saying a lot for a city with the highest concentration of frighteningly skilled pickers in America. Kelley’s new guy is Daniel Donato, who is celebrating his high school graduation today.

“Ain’t no new country music,” Kelley announces. “Only bad rock and roll.”

Donato rips off solo after solo, each more impressive than the last. It’s dizzying. You had dinner plans, but you’ve never heard anything like this. A woman behind you is telling a story in a thick drawl. It ends with her shouting, “And I was holding her baby and drinking her beer!” Straight out of a country song.

You order a burger and another round.

As Gram Parsons once sang, you ain’t goin’ nowhere.

DAY THREE | You’ve sustained some damage, and you’ve got local guy Kris Kristofferson’s “Sunday Morning Coming Down” running through your head. (Well, I woke up Sunday morning / With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt / And the

beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad / So I had one more for dessert.) Breakfast beer is inadvisable, but you’re in need of some coffee. And maybe some grease. You hail a cab and head for East Nashville, the heart of the city’s new cultural resurgence.

Barista Parlor doesn’t reveal itself readily. It’s hidden behind a fence, but once you locate it, you find a large, open-faced building with rough-hewn wooden tables

supported by metal cables over sleek concrete floors. You order a terrific bourbon barrel vanilla la e—the vanilla of which was aged in a former bourbon barrel, resulting in an initial sweetness yielding to wood and bourbon flavors—and a biscuit with apple bu er and spicy sausage from the butcher shop next door.

Next, you walk over to the leafy, devotedly quirky Five Points district, where you

“Ten minutes south of Nashville is Radnor, a wildlife preserve where you can watch birds, river otters, mink, muskrat, bobcat and coyote. It’s a perfect refuge from the madness.”

“I always suggest people check out a show at the High Watt, a club in the Gulch. It’s always a local band on the cusp of making it. I’ve never seen a bad show there.”

“Go to Prince’s for Hot Chicken in North Nashville. They’re so slow: You order and you age. But it’s good. Even the medium is hot. Rub your eyes after and you’ll go blind.”

happen upon a cluster of indie shops called the Idea Hatchery. In a classic Nashville moment, you meet Gavin O’Neill, owner of a small but well-curated vintage store called Hello Boys, and learn that his boyfriend’s great-great-grandfather was the first person killed in the Hatfield-McCoy feud. His business partner is the daughter of country legend David Allen Coe. The woman who owns the shop next door is married to alt-country singer Todd Snider.

A few blocks away, on Fatherland Street, is another cluster of hip boutiques. One, 1907 Apparel, echoing the cultural grandiosity that built the fake Parthenon, sells T-shirts reading: “LONDON PARIS ROME NASHVILLE.” Other outlets carry art, furniture, tea. A cashier in a shop selling vintage goods explains that he moved here to Nashville with his band, but the lead singer got a big head, signed a record deal and fired the rest of the guys.

Lunch is nearby at Mas Tacos Por Favor, which is housed in a blue 1974 Winnebago parked at a farmer’s market in front of East Nashville High (notable alum: Oprah). You grab a quinoa sweet potato taco, followed

by a breakfast taco with eggs and chorizo, chased with a watermelon agua fresca.

The guy hosting the farmer’s market comes over to chat. Not surprisingly, he’s a songwriter waiting for a break.

You call a cab and wait, lazing out on the grass, listening to a couple of folk singers do their thing. You’re off to another neighborhood undergoing a resurgence, down 12th Avenue South. Hewing to the Mexican theme, you get a creamy coconut popsicle at Las Paletas, an establishment so popular that it seems everyone on the block is nursing one. You stroll around 12th and arrive at Katy K Designs, an endlessly intriguing vintage Western-wear stalwart filled with boots, pa erned dresses and wildly embroidered shirts. Dolly Parton used to live two doors down. Owner Katy Kattelman did outfits for her. Not long ago, Ka elman says ma er-of-factly, “Jack White brought Pee-Wee in here.”

Dinner, however, brooks no honky-tonk frivolity. It’s at the Catbird Seat, a very highend, very avant garde restaurant. You enter through a basement door, then take an elevator up and step into a white, windowless

room with a U-shaped counter bracketing the chefs. You’re in for a 10-course tasting menu. It’s an intense experience: oysters with bu ermilk snow; salmon tartare with curried crackers; potato soup with sturgeon caviar, horseradish cream and garlic flowers; an Oreo made of Parmesan and porcini cream; swordfish with reduced charcuterie and truffle sauce; a dehydrated meringue with eucalyptus; cider made with Trappist yeast finished with maple syrup; and lots of wine. Followed by more wine.

By the end you’re exhausted. You shuffle outside and, miraculously, there’s an empty cab coming up the street. In you go. “Where to?” Your body wants you to say “bed,” but you remember a guy you met earlier, who told you there was a great bluegrass show tonight at the Station Inn. An all-star band. A rare treat. The cabbie awaits your answer. You think a moment.

“Station Inn, please.”

Boston-born JOE KEOHANE, an editor at Esquire, is thinking about acquiring a pair of cowboy boots, possibly embroidered.

THE HEMI Q&A: MICHAEL KORS

a piece that you grab for again and again. “I’ve got a big night; I know that this bag, that dress, that lipstick—those are the things I can depend on.” If I pass the test of someone who’s got millions of eyes on them, then I know that for a woman who’s not in the public eye, it’s really going to work.

HEMISPHERES: Speaking of not being in

the public eye, you had to skip most of the last season of “Project Runway.” Viewers surely missed your cutting commentary.

You once told a contestant that their design looked like “the art teacher is on an acid trip.” Do you ever feel bad about saying such things?

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 75

“In the late ’70s, there was this decadent a itude that permeated through fashion and into the beauty world. I was truly ready to go full-tilt.”

I don’t wear anything. I use Jo Malone soap and that’s my fragrance. A li le bit of grapefruit for me and I’m done.

I’m not that much of a guinea pig at this point.

glamorous textiles and anything that is tactile. So for me it’s this yin-yang.

HEMISPHERES: So how has your fashion

KORS: I think it’s that they know what works on them, and a majority of them are jugglers—they enjoy fashion and want to look stylish, but they’ve got a lot going on. And I think that Mrs. Obama is indicative of that.

aesthetic evolved since the days you were dousing yourself in Halston?

KORS: [In the late ’70s at Studio 54,] I once took a piece of raw silk jersey—this kind of beige-y colored silk jersey—and I wrapped it as a diaper pant with leg warmers, boots and a luggage strap as a belt, with a panama hat. And then, of course, as I was dancing the night away, I realized at 4:30 in the morning that my diaper pant was quickly coming undone and I hunted around and found a safety pin somewhere and I lasted for the rest of the night. Now I like a sense of easiness. Even on a red carpet in an evening gown, I think people still need to be able to move. They want to sit comfortably and dance comfortably. But I love really

KORS: I always just say what I viscerally feel when the clothes come out, which, quite frankly, is what any designer is going to have to contend with when they have their own collection, so I don’t feel bad about it. I do always try to say it with a grain of salt that’s a li le funny.

HEMISPHERES: Another thing new design-

ers will have to contend with is the current economic situation. What do you think that means for the future of the fashion industry, not just financially, but in terms of the fantasies it sells—the idea of luxury and glamour?

HEMISPHERES: What do people who wear

Michael Kors have in common?

KORS: Luxury and glamour will always be something that people desire, and something that they strive for. Whether the economy is doing well or struggling, if something makes you feel amazing, then it’s luxurious—it can be a fabulous coat or a new lipstick. Everyone needs a li le fantasy, and that’s what fashion and beauty are all about.

HEMISPHERES: It must be a thrill seeing

the First Lady wearing your clothes.

KORS: When I was growing up, I always thought first ladies wore prim colorful suits for an official portrait. I certainly never dreamed that times would change; that, in fact, she would wear jersey, it would be sleeveless, it would be black, it would be athletic, and it would be mine.

And then Mrs. Obama wore a dress of ours on election night that was almost four years old. I like the idea of wearing

HEMISPHERES: If you hadn’t become a

fashion designer, what do you think you’d be doing instead?

KORS: I love theater and Broadway, but I can’t sing or dance, so I’d probably be a producer.

laughs and reminds him that “the spring was built to withstand a nuclear explosion, so it doesn’t move unless the Earth does.”

As we take a steel-cage elevator to the bottom of the silo and gaze up at the now-disarmed missile, Penson explains that what we’re really looking at is a study in the kind of meticulous planning and communications redundancy that is now ubiquitous in the 21st-century world of crash-resistant technology and data backup. From the springs to the 9,000 gallons of water needed to suppress the

missile engine’s deadly sound, to the multiple codes needed to get into the bunker, to the flame deflectors beneath the missile’s engine, “no contingency was too trivial to be ignored,” he says.

This is hammered home during the chilling climax of the tour—a real-to-life simulation of a launch in the command center. Everything in this cramped room is as it was the day the bunker went offline in 1982—the yellowing manuals, the encoded Mylar reels that held the missile targeting information, the hulking computer panels, the aging blue Air Force jumpsuits and, of course, the keys.

Ah yes, the keys.

“This is the room from WarGames, right?” I ask our guide, referencing the Matthew Broderick blockbuster from 1983. “The one where the guys turn the keys?”

That it is, he says, as Butch whispers, “Oh man, I knew it looked familiar.”

As that film’s first searing scene illustrated, and as a tour guide named Sam now explains, with the right codes entered into the combination dial on the console, those tiny objects were the final bits of metal in a massive doomsday machine.

Step by step, Sam clicks the numbers

into the dial. He opens the red safe. The bu ons on the console flash. Those of us with cameras quit snapping pictures. The kids on the tour stop fooling around.

The room goes silent.

One of my fellow tourists is asked to put one of the keys into the circuit board as Sam puts an identical one into another slot a few feet away. The countdown begins. The keys are turned in unison.

We all flinch as a klaxon alarm breaks the silence.

A mere 58 seconds later—the time it would take to fuel the 330,000-pound missile—the world ends ... but it doesn’t.

Instead, one of our tour guides smiles and hands the day’s designated tourist-turnedlaunch-commander a souvenir card that reads, “I turned the key.”

ON OUR WAY back up to the surface, I meet fellow atomic tourist Dan Dansro, a crewmember at the Titan site in the 1970s who is visiting from Albuquerque with his wife and two teenage grandsons.

Underneath the lobby’s “peace through deterrence” sign, he fondly reminisces about the uncomfortable situations and camaraderie that come with regularly working in a claustrophobic bunker for 24-hour shi s. But the 63-year-old’s expression turns more serious when I ask him what feels like a taboo question—would he have followed the ultimate order from his commanders to turn the Cold War hot?

“The closest I ever got to that was when they told us to get our keys out of the safe,” he says. “It only happened once on my shi , and if it came to that, I would have done what I was trained to do, because I understood the importance of this weapon system.” Looking out across the dirt to the silo cover, he pauses, takes a deep breath, and in a somber voice adds, “The thing is, I never wanted to turn the keys. Never.”

DAVID SIROTA is a bestselling author and journalist. He looks back fondly on the duckand-cover drills of his grade school years.

CBP offers the Global Entry™ program in order to expedite the processing of pre-approved, low-risk international travelers entering the U.S. Upon returning from travel abroad, Global Entry™–enrolled travelers may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed to the Global Entry™ kiosk. Global Entry™ program participants scan their machine-readable passport, U.S. permanent resident card or U.S. visa on the kiosk, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification and make a customs declaration. The kiosk will issue the traveler a transaction receipt and direct the traveler to baggage claim and exit. Kiosks are located at major U.S. airports, as well as at several CBP Pre-Clearance locations.

This form is in two parts. Please complete both the Arrival Record (Items 1 through 17) and the Departure Record (Items 18 through 21).

eligibility for expedited screening on a perflight basis. Therefore, you are not guaranteed expedited screening for every flight even if you have applied to the program.

MileagePlus members may participate by joining a CBP Trusted Traveler Program.

Visit globalentry.gov to learn more.

Approved Global Entry/NEXUS/SENTRI applicants receive a membership/PASS ID number, also called a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Enter the KTN into your MileagePlus profile at united.com/tsaprescreening. United will transmit the KTN to the TSA along with the Secure Flight Passenger Data in your reservation so the TSA can determine your eligibility for TSA Pre .

TM

If the TSA determines a passenger is eligible for expedited screening, information will be embedded in the barcode of his or her boarding pass. When the TSA scans the barcode at designated checkpoints, eligible passengers will be directed to an expedited screening lane. Eligible

passengers will also see the TSA Pre logo on their boarding passes issued online, through some kiosks and on mobile boarding passes. If the boarding pass contains the TSA Pre logo (which will be located on the boarding pass near the customer’s name), the passenger can go to TSA Pre lanes. It’s important to note that while the TSA Pre logo will appear on all qualifying boarding passes, not all airports currently offer a TSA Pre lane.

Tips for customers using Global Entry/ NEXUS/SENTRI to participate in TSA Pre All customers should ensure they are providing accurate Secure Flight Passenger Data (name, date of birth, gender, optional Known Traveler Number and optional Redress Number) in all reservations. Global Entry/NEXUS/SENTRI members should ensure that this data matches what was used on the CBP application, or they will not be selected to participate.

What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancellation you opt not to travel, call United reservations (1-800-UNITED-1) to learn about your options.

What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next flight if space is available, which means your bags may arrive before you. If so, United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.

Help us help you stay informed. Sign up for Trip Alert, our messaging service that informs you if your flight is canceled or delayed, at united.com.

At home? Go to united.com for information or to check in and print your boarding pass.
